The carry gun and method vary with destination. Around my small town, it's a snub revolver 38 or 357 IWB appendix carry. That includes church. If I gotta go to an urban area, I up-arm to a glock 22 OWB at 4 o'clock . OC or concealed (cover garment), the guns are strong side. I always...

I was ramping up ammo production from 2008 to about 2015. I load all my calibers, including .45 I smelt wheel weights, cast bullets, have a LOT of primers brass and powder in stock. I figure about 7 cents per, excluding brass. With brass, maybe 11 cents each? But my great-great grandchildren...

Build a bullet catcher. Mine is a wood box 4' x 3' X 24" deep . Stack scrap wood in it . I've never had a bullet penetrate the back, shooting 223 and 308 and 30-06. I empty it every couple of years and smelt he lead back into ingots, then cast boolits for reloading.

With the rising tide of islamic terrorism, NOT being prepared is a mistake. The moslem raison d'etre is to force all infidels to convert, pay jizya tax or be killed. The recent actions of the Garland Texas islamic terrorists should be not only yet another wake up call, but also a blueprint...

If I get profiled, I profile right back. Cell phone video going, I get faces and license plates and ask for names and badge numbers and "what do you think you are doing here?" I have low tolerance for neugestapo antics.

i always carry a dangit stick, just in case.

Leave us not forget that half the 2008 campaign slogan for the dumbest half of america was unspecified "Change". Of course that was paired with the brilliant strategy for future success, "Hope". And in 2012 the old marxist slogan "Forward" carried the election. I weep for my nation.

I bought a HF digital calipers and I am unimpressed. Battery Hog and as soon as you get over 1.5" the readout goes ape. I'd go with a dial caliper first if i was to do it all over again.

I had a lot of trouble with my cast bullets and my 1911s. I was using a Lee 225 grain Round nose tumble lube mold. Sized .452 thru a lee sizer. The cast bullets sized to .452 and loaded with RCBS dies loaded and ran just great in the Ruger P345 and the hi-point .45 and the hi-point .45 carbine...

"I have been using bench rest primers in my 45 Elite Match and I have reduced my groups to under an inch at 50 yards standing on one leg with the modified Weaver stance with my cap on backwards." Heeeeyyyy, wait a minute! I don't think you are telling us the Truth!

What's the accuracy of the leaded barrel vs un-leaded? The success / failure of the load & rifle is in the accuracy, not the look od the barrel afterwards. You may have a self-correcting "problem".

My RCBS roll pad and RCBS lube lasts and lasts and lasts. I've loaded at least 43 gazmillion pistol and rifle rounds in the last 25 years, and I have never stuck a case in a die. I'm on my 2nd little bottle of slimy lube. I have over lubed and dimpled some case shoulders, but I learned not to...

A citizen should own the tools necessary to pursue their interests. Hunters: it's pretty easy to figure out what caliber by what's legal for your intended game. Sports shooters: Whatever guns the competition is running, they're probably doing it for a reason. Self defense: 20 million essays...

More importantly, are you prepared to surrender your carry piece if you ever have to use it? Guarantee that if you fire your piece in self defense, Officer Friendly is gonna collect it as evidence. I run the philosophy that the carry pistol is a tool that should be ultra reliable, as accurate...

I ran thru ( burned out) a couple of vibratory tumblers in a couple of years. the company replaced it once, then refunded my money. ( I got tired of paying shipping back). I considered the mechanical aspect of a machine that is designed to try and shake itself to death, then went with a roller...
